Dear all
Lucy November has run
2YoungLives.org the lifesaving mentoring scheme for pregnant teenagers which she runs in Sierra Leone.
It is a fantastic project funded by Wellbeing exploring reduction in very high rates of maternal mortality.

This is now the next stage of this project to support financial independence for women.
They are starting a bridal hire business in Freetown to finance the project, and are collecting wedding dresses (and all that goes along with that - tiaras, veils, shoes etc).
She already has 13 and is looking for the same again.
Especially looking for sizes 14 and up.
If you'd like to donate a dress or know someone who does, please contact
Lucy through the website or on this email. Dresses don't have to be cleaned, we will do that when we get it. Here's a taste of what we will do with your dresses .... we'll treasure them!
Happy Christmas to all.
Lucy
